In this episode, we review how to find that job to put into use all those skills that we are learning.  I'm referring to an article from The Muse at https://www.themuse.com/advice/reinvent-online-presence-job-search.  

The six things we cover is advice on the following:

The advantage of no code/low code tools is that it opens up a door of possibilities for both the coders and the non-coders to become developers.  While developing a website or application does require coding - it's actually much more than that.  There's the user interface (UI), user experience (UX), design thinking, marketing and more that goes into an idea becoming a reality and successfully in the hands (or on the screens) of the end user.  All those components take time and skills sets that can be unique but with the coming of these tools the barriers between ideation to creation and deployment are removed.  This new type of developers are called Citizen Developers.

One of the latest options available to take part of this movement is Amazon Honeycode.  The new Amazon service is a fully-managed AWS service that gives developers the power to build powerful mobile & web applications without writing any code. It uses the familiar spreadsheet model and lets you get started in minutes.

Honeycode is still in beta but if you enjoy working with tools like Excel and Access I have a feeling you'll enjoy exploring what this tool has to offer in terms of opportunities to build quickly and bring those ideas to life.

Curious about getting started with this new tool from the biggest cloud computing provider?  Check out some of these resources below.

While listening to Techmeme's podcast from February 1 I heard (again) about the rising popularity of augmented reality(AR).  Whether it's for instruction, for training, for marketing, or simply for fun - AR has definitely seen a rise in popularity partly due to quarantine and partly due to ingenuity of how to make the most of an uncertain time.

As an educator and lifelong learner myself, I'm always on the lookout to learn about the new skill sets in need and the resources to learn them.  The skills that an article from Financial Express titled Are you job-ready for the new normal?  https://www.financialexpress.com/jobs/are-you-job-ready-for-the-new-normal/2172862/

We'll be reviewing the skills in demand for today and tomorrow in addition to the resources available for anyone to access and use to learn these new and ever-changing in-demand skills.

Below are a list of resources
